Odillo, Msonthi get new posts: Malawi govt confirms

Government has confirmed that it indeed has re-hired fired Malawi Defence Force (MDF) Commander, General Henry Odillo, and his former deputy, General John Msonthi as they given positions in separate parastatal organisations.

John Msonth: Re-hired

Odillo is now working as deputy manager for Airport Development Limited (ADL) while Msonthi is deputy manager for National Oil Company.

Stuypid Malawians. How co you really expect top notch soldiers work as deputy managers at some nondescript parastatals? Where were they trainers in business management? No wonder we will remain the poorest country in SADC. These two should have been rehired into the army, or at worst leave them and earn their salary from home, but sirely taking them as deputy managers is really insulting them.

No wonder we shall remain a poor nation forever. These guys are at the center of cashgate and someone rehires them. They have experience in stealing from govt purse and you now hire their expertise. shame

Was odillo and msonti not mentioned in cash gate. Why are they being given other positions. Rather pay them to sit on their arses that giving them other employment. Watch them start pulling illegal deals at those parastatals. Then Malawians continue to suffer. Yambani ku ma panga za nzeru a pitala ndi anthu anu. A Che saulosi si anadyanawo za cashgate ndi a odillo ndi a msontiwo?

Whatever languages these people use, fired, retired or dismissed the final message comes out to be “redeployment”. What is the meaning of all this? Do we have to appease the people you have fired? Chimene mkuopa apa ndichani? Don’t confuse us with your funny logical poems, we seem to be tiring with them!

Mr president, do you think of graduates in our country? there is no point of deploying retired officers yet there is a high unemployed youth who can be trained and fill all those gaps where do you think these Malawians will work with their degrees?
this is not republic of Mutharika or Odillo or Mkhito this is Malawi and am sure it belongs to all Malawians. I guess Mr president to rethink of ordinary Malawians who are suffering also.

These guys were given these posts way back in November 2014. The government is running away from compensation. The two army can still sue under constructive dismissal. The whole army general reduced to deputy general manager? Consult your lawyers please though the employment act doesn’t apply to army personnel. They can use the Public Service Act.

Iwe stupid minister of information do you pay tax? Coz u were supposed to be concerned by the way our government wastes resources just imagine with our already thin economy government still pays foe services that are not rendered to the government as is the case with some civil servants who were sent on indefinite leaves who are getting their full salaries while at the same time government pays the newly hired office bear. This only happens in Malawi and it seems like we are living in another world. Our government up to date still pays millions of kwachas witnesses in the infamous Chilumpha treason case of which we all know wad just factious.
